Maria Hart is an award winning freelance writer who specializes in travel and yachts. Wanderlust and a passion for storytelling, not to mention a healthy dose of peer pressure, launched her into the blogging sea recently with the website: TravellingwithHart.com. This is a space aimed especially at solo travellers with a heart for deep, eco or furry travel; people who dare to learn, smile and try. Here you’ll find travel inspiration, photos and tips, resources and stories.

A frequent short term visitor to Spain, she hopes to turn her Spanish love affair into a long term commitment eventually and become fluent in the language. It is not only the warmth of the summer sun that provides the draw of the country for her, but the warmth of the people.

Among other places, her features have appeared in European Boatbuilder, Wanderlust, Rough Guides award-winning website, and three Canadian newspapers; one of which was home to her monthly travel column Canadian a’Broad. She was contributing editor to Match Racing 360 magazine and is currently a regular contributor to Superyacht Business magazine. I guess this is why the book isn’t finished yet; there are only so many hours in the day.

She is always interested in working with editors, tourist boards and brands, and taking on new commissions. The website is TravellingwithHart.com and she can be contacted there or at travellingwithhart@outlook.com
